Smoothie King

WOW! WOW! WOW! Is all u can say from my experience at smoothie king of carytown. I was helped by Aliya and she was such a knowledgable smoothie expert who really knew the ins and outs of flavor profiles along with the extra health additives you can add. Aliya really knows her stuff I was highly impressed. She’s a true asset to the Smoothie King team.

Must have been a new employee. The cashier got into a fight with the customer in front of me and over charged her for a smoothie. He then refused to give a receipt and refused to call a manager. It looked like he was running a scam. The argument went on so long I just left!
I’d stay away from thus place until they get some training in customer service!

Worst smoothie ever! They should learn to make smoothies from «Sonic». I basically just bought icy water with watery flavors, thoroughly unhealthy and tasteless stuff. Never going to Smoothie king again!!!

Great, friendly staff! They helped me select a smoothie and were more than able to accommodate my gluten and soy allergies. My brother is vegan and on a gluten free diet and they had many choices for him as well.
They have different types of powders you can add to your smoothie and I though that was cool. I really enjoyed the visit and will return next time I’m in Virginia.

Great smoothies, helpful staff!

SK sent me an email for a 20oz smoothie for $ 1.99. Soo. Of course. I just «had» to go try it out. It was yummy, I was glad I stopped by to check it out. The coupon made the decision easy. I ordered a strawberry pure recharge smoothie and it hit the spot on a 99degree day? Thanks Smoothie King…

I love coming to this location. The girls that work here are very pleasant, and a few of them pretty much know which of the few smoothies I’ll get — and they know my guys order just by seeing him since he always gets the same thing. :)
It’s comforting to know that they don’t make a big fuss if you have specific dietary needs. They know the menu very well and can assist with making a safe selection for what you need. Not many places are as patient I’ve noticed. So if you can’t have gluten or casein (like myself), or any other combination of items, stop by and talk with them. I’m sure they cna help you find a delicious smoothie to enjoy!

I guess I should review this place, since I’m currently the duchess. Um. It’s smoothies? The people are basically nice to you but you only interact with them for 10 seconds. The menu is easy to understand, the prices seem reasonable. Really not much to say. Like Megan says, it gets pretty busy here on hot days, but now with Sweet Frog across the way it’s not as busy as it was. Parking in Cary Court is always bullshit. Don’t even try to park in the front lot. Park on the street or around the back.
I’ve always wanted to go in here dressed as a king with a scepter crowned by a smoothie and shout, «You sir! Are NOT the smoothie king! You are a pretender to my title!» Of course, I would have to order a smoothie and then pronounce it decent enough, telling them they might have the title of smoothie duke, or perhaps earl.

Mediocre smoothies at flabbergasting prices. All their ingredients come out of bags, and not produce bags from the produce section of a grocery store. Bladder bags of fruit concentrate. If you want me to pay $ 7 for a liquid meal, please use whole pieces of fruit, KAY?

Mmmmmm! Love the service and loved my smoothie. Definitely my new go-​to smoothie spot. They give awesome service. My first visit they offered to customize my drink because I couldn’t find anything that peaked my interest. Ordered a strawberry/​mango/​pomegranate smoothie that was to die for! They also have tons of vegan sweets & treats that look yummy… I plan on giving them a try as well.

Upon entering, I was warmly greeted! I took a second to decide what I wanted and upon ordering, my smoothie was made quickly! I enjoyed the smoothie and customer service. A small size was approximately $ 4.29.
Usually parking can be a bit atrocious for this location. There is a lot, but it gets crowded. This time, I got a fabulous spot immediately! Yay!
They take cash or credit. They also have healthy food bars and other snacks.

Keep in mind I’ve only tried one smoothie here but several times over lol. The Lemon Twist (Strawberry) … it is addictive and tart & a little sweet and so good… it tastes like Pink Lemonade kissed with a little Strawberry… it was my first smoothie there after being give this flavor as a suggestion from a girl working there after my first visit and it’s been so good I haven’t broken away to try something else.
When going to the movies there is one in NW DC in Chinatown I will see how they compare but get a different drink this time. Reviews of that one is so-​so but hope my experience is different.

Okay, I’m going to review this Smoothie King because of the great service I’ve received here. This location of Smoothie King is right in the middle of Cary Court and on nice days it gets PACKED. The staff here almost always remains nice, on-​point and efficient, even taking orders before you get rung up to keep things moving.
What I like most is that I went in one morning to get a smoothie for breakfast and the manager or owner saw me scouring the menu and asked me what I was looking for. I said I wanted something low in calories but high in protein/​filling and he suggested the Strawberry Shredder that wasn’t even on the menu. That was super nice of him, especially because this beverage became my favorite. Even though it wasn’t on the menu, all the staffers knew how to make it.
A word of advice for those watching calories: order your smoothie without added sugar or turbinado (natural sugar) it will taste just as good but be lower in calories.

Overpriced smoothies with ingredients some people can’t even spell. I appreciate the attempt to add in supplements but a bit of knowledge for you guys… Creatine DOES NOT keep it’s chemical composition in liquid. You are advised to chug it quickly and immediately. Good luck chugging 32oz of frozen creatine.
The smoothies actually taste decent but I’ve never understood why places like this don’t double as a health food take out stop. In Seattle places like this were everywhere and even got away with selling everything cold. Cold Cut Sandwiches. Cold Brown Rice and Vegetable, Chicken, Fruit, etc… Bowls. Pastries. They offered anything you might need before/​after a workout or just in a healthy hurry… minus the mumbo jumbo supplements nobody needs.
